 Usage Notes
   ■ A timer allows you to run procedure code at a set time interval. The
     code to be executed is placed in the Timer event. See: ◄Timer Event►
 
   ■ The time interval at which the Timer event occurs is determined by the
     Interval property. See: ◄Interval Property►
 
   ■ To activate a timer, set its Enabled property to True (-1) and set the
     Interval property to a nonzero value. At run time, the timer event
     occurs at the specified interval, although the control itself is
     invisible to the user. To deactivate a timer, set its Enabled property
     to False (0). See: ◄Enabled Property►
 
   ■ Visual Basic supports up to 16 timers. Attempting to start a timer when
     none are available causes a run-time error.
